server housing at home enough bandwitdh?

[potatochan]

heyho, i'm housing a dell poweredge r910 at home with the current bandwidth of 32 mbit downstream and 2mbit upstream.

The hardware is more than enough to host 5 PR servers, however my upload speed is very limited to 2mbit up. Will it be enough to host a 100slot server? If not, how many people could it hold aprox.?

cheers.

Not entirely sure, but I think each player needs like 64 to 128kb/s (that's the server's upstream). So according to that, maaaaybe 32 players. Most likely less.

User Server License
User Licenses are for individual users, clans, and other small organizations who wish to host public and/or private (passworded) Project Reality Servers. By default, a single User License is allowed to add up to 3 game servers and 5 license moderators. These servers must be internet facing (i.e. respond to server queries), and hosted at a data-centre. We do not issue licenses for home hosted or LAN-only servers.

IMPORTANT: You must have a BF2 dedicated server running on the IP/port in your application. If no server is detected, the application cannot be processed and will be deleted.

That's meh.

thanks can be closed.

Housing my server in a data center is too expensive would be cheaper if I rent one.

I think it qualifies as long as it's running 24/7 and isn't a locally hosted game. PM the Devs for the details. I'll lock this at your request, but I can reopen if you PM me.

Watch your language, though.
